Boom | 2.5D Raycasting Engine in Rust

A 2.5D raycasting engine written in Rust from scratch. This project renders a 3D-style perspective from a 2D map, inspired by classic games like Wolfenstein 3D.

Features

• Raycasting Renderer: Renders a 3D perspective from a simple 2D tile-based map.
• DDA Algorithm: Implements a Digital Differential Analyzer (DDA) algorithm for efficient ray-wall intersection calculations.
• Player Movement: Includes first-person controls for movement (forward/backward, strafing) and rotation.
• Collision Detection: Simple AABB-style collision detection to prevent the player from walking through walls.
• Projection Math: Corrects for fisheye lens distortion to create a natural-looking perspective.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the Rust toolchain installed. You can install it from rustup.rs.
